Something about needing to blackmail your allies in order to agree on something that benefits the whole alliance just doesn‘t sit right. Turkey has shown that it really isn’t to be trusted.
The US blackmailed all of Europe before the UN assembly regarding the Iraq invasion and forced the Baltics to send troops in order to gain admittance. This isn’t something new within NATO. France wouldn’t even join NATO unless they agreed to defend attacks on French colonized Algeria. NATO despite whatever other functions it has is also a tool for currying geopolitical favors. Turkey is playing the game the same as everyone else. Not sure why this is surprising anyone.
